Sydney’s autumn heatwave

It has been a mild autumn across most of Australia – with Melbourne and Sydney experiencing above average temperatures for this time of year. People definitely aren’t complaining as it means we don’t have to rug up and put the heater on just yet.

That isn’t to say we shouldn’t be concerned, because the truth is, such warm weather heading into winter suggests something isn’t right. Sydney had a top of 28 degrees today which is technically warmer than the maximum summer temperature. Australia’s overall temperature increases this year have had climate scientists concerned.
